Default header install

so just by reading multiple threads and post i have seen there are alot of extra things people do due to the convenience of having headers out. I already plan on doing plugs and wires... what other things can you guys think of that are cheap and easy to do while there are no headers?

definitely do polyurethane motor mounts before you put the headers in.

your stock rubber mounts will be CRAP after 11+ yrs......and let the headers bang around ........go poly or solid.........you have been warned

I agree go poly while you have the headers out. Much easier to do with them out. Without poly's your LT's will bang the bottom of your car and drive you nuts.

also does anyone have the part number for these poly mounts? and can i reuse the bushings? or do i have to buy the bushings as well?
looking on the sphon website it looks like theres alot of parts needed for the polys... looks maybe cheaper in the end for solid... i just dont know if i can just get the poly... the poly and bushing...the poly and bushing and bushing stand???
now i deffinetly need help haha
